An Aged Settlor.
"Do I believe John Sickle, the colored
man what works for Legislaturenian Hunt
upon the mountain, is 106 years old?" said
Uncle Zeke Holland this morning in ies
pouse to a question. ''Yes, I do, 'cause
I'm nigh onto 70 myself, aud I know he
was quite an old man when I was a boy,
But talkin' 'bout old men, you ought to
have seen my father. He walked away
with anythin' for age I've ever seen or
hearn tell of. Why, John Sickle will tell
you that he used to do chores for my father
when he was a young darkey, and my
father gave him all the schooling he ever
had. When he first moved into these parts
there wasn't a bit of cleared laud worth
speakin' of. 'Twas not bin but woods all
'round, and the bears and d ers were thick
as could be. Now, when 1 say that, I'm
sayin' a good deal, for you know German
Valley is one of the oldest places in Jersey.
That old Lutheran church you see yonder
was built long before the Revolution, aud
my father helped put it up. He was quite
young then, it's true, but it was a powerful
long while ago.
"I want you to tliiuk of it a little spell.
I'm the youngest of the family, and as I
said a bit ago, I'm nigh onto seventy.
I've got grandchildren, aud my oldest
brother livin' over iu Orange County, New-
York, who is just ninety has great-grand
children. Well, my father died just as
the war ended, and my oldest brother was
his first child bv his second wife, he having
lost all the children born by his first wife.
Do you get onto that? I've hearn him say
he was over 125, aud 1 believe he was
oldtr. Why, he tcld me once how as a
young chap he had heard the news f
Braddock's defeat by the Indians, and how
excited they all got in this region. It was
over a month after the battle before they
got the news, but they made just as much
fuss ta they had got it by telegraph the
same day it happened. He had Cleared
away a couple of hundred acres, and was
married and keepiu' house when the tea
was chucked into Boston harbor. Think
of that, will you? He jined a party of
volunteers who went from here, aud it took
'em six days to git to New York. He was
with Washington all through the war. and
had two of his toes frozen that night when
they crossed the Delaware.
"Why, talking 'bout your old settlers,
my father not only was one of the first to
open up this part of Jersey, but. he was
the first to cut down a tree on Schooley's
Mountain, as we now call it. One day
while he was I'elUng trees he struck a
spring, the same spring which folks now
drink for their health.
"It's a wonder he didn't get killed those
days. for he worked by himself, the near
est chap bein' a quarter of a mile away.
I've hearn him say that the sound of the
axes through the trees would fetch the
bears and wolves out, who would come
around seemin to be afraid, to show fight
when they saw the axe aud heard the
cra&hiu' of the limbs. But once in a while
one of 'em would grow vei y bold aud come
growlin' toward the old man. He kuew
how to fix 'em. however. He just threw
a coupb of branches at 'em, and then
whirled his axe around his head a few
times, at the same time mounting a trunk
and yelling. They always turned and dug
back into the thickets."
"But the queerest thing I ever heard
him tell was 'bout tbe way in wh'ch the
snakes a*, d owls acted when thev were
cutting down the trees. You ee the var
mints had never listened to such a noise as
was made by the choppin' and the lellin'
of the woods, and they didn't know what
to make of it. At first they used to gather
in the bushes and along the ground several
hundred feet away from the place where
the men were workin' and watck 'em,
never movin' for hours at a time. After a
few days they changed their plans and
climbed up trees near by, curlin' them
selves around the limbs, and watchiu' the
trees go down as though their Jives de
pended on it. That must have been a
sorter curious sight.
"Just think of workin' a quarter of a
mile from any one, with a hundred snakes
or so lookin' down at you from the boughs
of one tree, and a dozen or two owls
perched on another. You see, the owls
were blind as bats during the day. but they
heard the noises, and got as close as they
could. I've hearu the-old man say that
sometimes an owl and a snake would get
on the same limb, and then there was a
circus. He said that you'd suppose the
snake would have it all his own way, but
that ain't so. The cussed sarpint would
crawl around the owl's legs, but before it
could give its three calls and bite the owl
would make that queer noise it's so fond of
and fly away. The rattler hadn't a show
when they were goiu' through the air, for
it got scared right off, and then the flip
ping of tbe owl's wings would kinder dis
turb it, and so it generally forgot all about
bitin'. Often the owl would shake the
reptile loose, and it would go tumblin' to
the ground, cracking its rattles all to
pieces on the stones.
"Yes, them wore great days, and I don't
see how my old man ever lived through
'em. Between the bears, sxakes, and cold
1 should think he'd tuckered out. But he
didn't, and any timeyour'e a mind to drop
in for an hour to watcu the twin snakes
I'll tell you some more about my father,
who was the oldest man I've ever hearn of
since Scripture limes."
In Full Soug.
An Australian bird fancier says: I have
had a parrot for about two years. At first
he was quite uneduca ed, and rather a dis
reputable looking party, but. with good
food and exercise, his musical talent soon
developed itself. He began with the first
part of "The Bells," then he got off per
fectly the trumpet call of "Cease Firing,"
44 C'barlie is my Darling," "Nix my Dollie,"
and he is diligently at work at 44 God bless
the Prince,'' and has the first part fairly
well off. He fetches and carries like a
dog, and seems never tired of running
after a ball of crumpled paper, and bring
ing it back and putting it in one's hand,
and waitiDg for another throw. He will
tumble about on the floor, and play more
like a monkey than a bird. He will get
into a slipper witfi a string tied to it, and
allow himself to be coached round and
round the room, holding on all the time to
the string. Some time ago we were
troubled with mice, but "Peter ' soon
brought them to a sense of their situilion.
He ferreted them out, chased them, killed
thorn, and, having duly washed them in
nis water tin, hung them up to dry, picked
them, and swallo.ved them. It requires
great perseverance training these birds.
They will eat almost anything. Some
days ago our bird swallowed a piece of
glass, and for two days and nights was
very ill, moaning pitifully; but he at last
brought it up in the usual way hawks and
owls do. He is now quite recovered, and
in lull song.

AGRICULTURE.
COLIC IN HORSES. —Attacksot colic most
frequently are the result of carelessness,
aud generally may be traced to a horse
having drauk cold water wnen heated, or
immediately after being fed, by being gor
ged with food after long fasting, or being
chilled by currents of cold air. Some
horses are constitutionally more liable to it
than others. The first symptoms are a
g ueral fidgetiness accompanied by lifting
of the feet very quickly, following by vio
lent rolling. These symptoms also indi
cate other disorders, requiring very differ
ent treatment from colic. There are two
that distinguish colic from inflammation of
the bowels, iu the former, the horse will
strike his belly violently with his foot be
tween the paroxsnisof pain; but iu the lat
ter, though he may lift his feet, he will not
strike, and the pam is continuous. When
colic symptoms are accompanied by con
stipation, the first care must be to empty
the bowels by " back raking" ami injec
tions of warm water. Here, clearly, the
stimulating medicines proper to flatulent
colic would be inappropriate and most
likely produce iutlammation of the bowels.
Flatulent colic is the more frequent and
suddeu form, requiring prompt treatment,
and perhaps with what may be at haud in
a country place. A horse got well quickly
alter the administration of one-quarter
piut of giu, and two ounces oi ground
ginger mixed with,water to till a soda water
bottle, from which it was poured dowu his
throat. Equal parts of whisky and milk,
ami from half a pint to a put at a time lias
beeu useful. A veterinary prescription for
colic, is : Spirits of turpentine, tour oun
ces; linseed oil, twelve ounces; laudanum,
one aud one-quarter ounces to be mixed,
and given every hour until the paiu ceases.
Bathing the belly with Lu.t water, ami trie
tiou, are both useful. If a horse is led
shout quietly, not galloped, as will be done
by ignorant grooms, it will aid the action
of ihe medicine, and prevent a horse from
huriiug himself by rolling as he will be
ap: to do, during the paroxysms of pain.
THE PROP, KTION OF WATER IX ROOTS.—
One of the simplest items in the chemistry
of a root crop is the amount of water it
eoutaius; it is a poiut, how ever, of great
practical iuiportauce. It is uot the gross
weight of roots that benefits either the far
mer or his cattle ; it is the amount of solid
matter winch determines the value of the
crop. Tins is always to be borue iu mind
iu judging of the merits of the new varie
ties continually offered to the public. A
' 4 heavy cropper" may be so merely because
its roots are more watery thau those of
other varieties. Agricultural and horti
cultural societies la giving prizes for new
roots, should make the percentage of solid
maiter iu the rx)t au important elemeut iu
their decisions. The average amount of
dry matter iu our various root crops is as
follows : Turnips, Bto 10 per ceut. ; car
rots 12 to 14; aud well-ripened sugar
beets. 16 to 18 per cent. It is a necessity
with farmers to raise large roots, if they
wish to obtain a heavy crop ; but it should
be remembered that an excessively large
root is always of inferior quahty. In ail
vegetable growth, great luxuriance and
rapidity of formation is associated with a
mere watery, saline and nitrogenous com
position.
FOOD FCK GROWI.NO FOWLS —Food for
young and growing fowls must, to obtaiu
good growth, be rich m nitrates and phos
phates. Corn meal contains much oil,
which before it can bo appropriated by the
system, has to go tbroagh a uurnber of
chemical changes, consequently it is too
rich a food to be fed exclusively to very
young chickens. Coarse oatmeal mixed
wiili milk, is very nutritious food. Cracked
or whole wheat is also excellent aud the
two mixed in tqoal parts give, undoubted
ly, the best gram food we can obtaiu, with
perhaps, the exception of rice. Milk curd
is very nutritious, and should always be
riven them wheu it can be had. If insect
food is not abundaDt, aud milk or curd
uot obtainable, teed freeh meat boiled and
minced. After the chickeus have goi a
good start in feathers, corn meal can In
used as the general grain food, as oatmeal
and wneat (though the best) are too ex
pensive for constant use. For vegetables,
boiled potatoes, mashed aud mixed with
wheat-bran, are excellent.
THE following is a well-tested receipt for
chicken cholera: At the first symptoms
dissolve in one gallon of tbe drinking
water half a teaspoonful of alum and the
same of copperas; at the same time give
daily in the soft feed a little sharp sand,
at the rate of one teaspoonful to a fowl,
in severe cases give at once by hand a
piece of alum audapieceof copperas, jeach
the size of a pea, mixed in dough, with
one teaspoonful of sand and a little meal
and water. Continue the medicated water
and sanded feed until all signs of disease
disappear.
THE kinds of grass suited for permanent
pasture depends upon the kind of soil.
Indeed, it is hardly worth while to try to
seed down permanently any but moist soils.
For these the following kinds of grass are
best suited: Ked-top, five pounds, per
acre; creeping bent, five pounds; meadow
spear-grass, four pounds ; red fescue, five
pounds; meadow fescue, three pounds ;
tall fescue, five pounds; meadow oat-grass,
four poundi; crested dog's tail, three
pounds ; timothy, three pounds.
THE average results of experiment and
theory, so to speak, m kes 67 pounds of
Indian coin equal to 100 pounds of hay,
or 1,140 pounds of corn to the ton of hay.
But it must be remembered that the nutri
tive effects of food upon an aLimal are
varied by many causes, and also that the
comparison of foods is affected by the ob
ject sought, as fat, growth, labor, milk, etc.
The above is the relative amouut of nutri
tive matter in corn and hay, as determined
by experiment and theory.
BELLS ON SHEEP.— 4 A good farmer in
Leyden,who keeps about a dozen excellent
Southdown ewes, always belled, was
grieved and supnsed one morning 10 find
that the dogs had raided his flock, killed
two, mangled otber3, and scattered the
rest. On collecting his litt e flock into tbe
yard after a day's search he found that the
tongue was lost, from the bell. This was
replaced, and never since have his sheep
been worried. The experiment is so aim
pie and cheap that it is worth trying."
THE following is interesting as a com
parative table of sizeo f fibres,
their diameters being given : East India
wool 1-700 of an inch, China wool 1 760,
Domestic wool 1-100. Leicester wool 1-lbuO,
Southdown wool 1-2560, Merioo wool 1 1-
800, China grass 1-1100, and English flax
1-1800 of an inch.
SOILS are improved by mixing. The
physical properties of the soil have an im
portant influence upon its average fertility.
The admixture of pure sand with ciay
soil produces an alteration which is often
benefiiid, and which is almost wholly
physical. Tne saud opens the pores of the
clay and makes it more permeable to the
air.

HUMOROUS.
" I TWINK 1 may l>e excused for a little
show of pride iu saying that 1 knew when
to quit Wall street," he observed, as HU
elevated train carried him over that great
thoroughfare.
" So you used to speculate, eh?"
14 Yes, I was ou that street for seven
years."
44 Made your pile, I suppose?"
44 Yes, 1 made and lost money the same
as the rest. At one time I could draw my
check for $98,000, and that wasn't so bad
tor a nmn who wont iuto Wall street with

44 And you kuew wheu to quilt"
44 Yes, sir.''
44 That was wheu —wheu —V"
44 That was when 1 had euough left to
pay my fare to Elmirn and lure a boy to
carry my satchel up to my father-iu-law's
house!" was the quiet reply.
A LUSTY railroader, of broad Teutonic
dialeet, stepped into one of the Fort Clark
stores recently with a liltlo brown jug,and
asked for whiskey. Being informed that
the ardent was not kept there, but that he
could buy vinegar, he says: 44 Yell dot
is him. 1 vants vinegar." The clerk
drew the vinegar ami brought it to him
Drawing the stopper and taking a smell, a
black look of disappo ntim-nt and sut prise
spread over his broad face, aud he said in
alow tone: 44 Why dish is winegar,"
44 Certainly," says the clerk, 44 ain't that
what you called fori" "Vy yaas; dot is
vot 1 said, but 1 vanted whischky, schtore
in Dhanis vat sells him dot way." Being
iuformed that Brackett merchants were
not that kind of hair-pins the clerk kindly
emptied the contents of the jug, and it is
hoped he got his temperance vinegar before
he left lowu.
[St IAHIIS Republican.]
It is very rare that the Republican con
sents to editorially forward the interests of
advertisers of what are known as patent
medicines, as it does uot frequently fall out
that we can have positive knowledge of
their merits. However, we take pleasure
in saying of St. Jacob's Oil from mdivldual
experiment, that it is a most excellent rem
edial agent, aud as such we can heartily
rucummeud it.
PEOPLE who witnessed the exercises said
that they never kuew a man to straighten
out a rope with more unstudied grace ami
earnest zeal than William did. He seem
ed to throw the whole vitn aud concentra
ted energy of a lifetime into this emphstic
gesture. As he hung there, limp and ex
hausted, at the end of the rope, ttie chair
man of the vigilaucecommittee said, while
he took a cigar from vYiliiam's vest |>ek
et and lit it, that he hail never known a
man to jump iuto the bosom of the great
uncertain with moreoAic, or more spright
ly grace ami precision than William had.
This should teach us the importance of
doing everything thoroughly and well.
Whatever we undertake, aim to do it bet
ter than anyone else. It is better to la
hanged, and know we have brought out
all there is in the part, and know that we
expiated our crimes in away calculated to
win the respect of all, thau even to run
for the Senate aud get scooped.
[G&lTeston News.]
The Madison, (Wis.) Democrat, in
endeavoring to treat the wounds received
by the candidates for the presidency, wisely
prescribes St. Jacob's Oil. Of course we
could not expect our worthy contemporary
to do otherwise than recommend that fa

all wounds but those of love" aud soothes
all pains —save thoee of political disap
pointment.
IT is certain that the Solomon Islau 'ers
seem to have become rather more than
savage during recent years. An amusing
story is told of an imported Polynesian
nurse who returned to her own people af
ter she had served her time. A "recruit

would return to Fiji.
44 Well,' 1 said the girl, 44 I like it, but 1
don't km w if my pa will lei me go."
44 Oh,l see; the old folks live here eh ?''
44 My pi live b it IUV ma's dead."
44 0h, how did the old lady die?"
44 Gentlemen come visiting, and pa get
jealous ; so he fight and kill ma, then he
put ma in a loco (or oven), and pa and his
friends eat poor ma all up."
44 YES," whisiered the boy to Mr. Bar
num. 44 I'm ready to pay for my ticket,
but I want the privilege of goinc in by
crawling under the tent." And Mr. Bar
num agreed and ordered the guards not to
interfere with the lad, aud after the boy
had performed the feat Mr Barnum went
inside, and asked his reafeons for it, aud
the lad explained that he had got over
seven dollars bet with boys who had tried
the crawl and failed, that he would suc
ceed in it.
Humbugged Again.
I saw so much said about the merits of
Hop Bittters,aud my wife, who was always
doctoring, aud never well, teased me so
urgently to get her some, I concluded to be
humbugged agaiu ; and I am glad I did,
for in less than two months' use of the
Bitters my wife was cured, and she has re
mained so for eighteen months since. I
like such humbugging.—ll. T., St. Paul.
A SMALL boy was hoeing corn in a
stsrile field by the road-side, up near
Bethel, Indiana, when a passer-by stopped,
and said : 44 Pears to me your corn is
rather small." " Certainly," said the boy,
"it is dwarfed corn." 44 But it looks
yaller." 44 Certainly. We planted the
yaller kind." 44 But it looks as if you
wouldn't get more than half a crop."
44 0f course not," said the boy. "We
planted her on shares."
A RATHER verdant young man, con
ceited and censanous, while talking to a
young lady at a party, pointed toward a
couple that he supposed to be in au ad
joining room and said, 44 Just look at that
conceited young prig! Isn't it perfectly
absurd for such boys to go into society ? '
44 Why," exclaimed his companion,
44 that isn't a door ; it's a mirror."
AUNT PHEBE, a very tall old lady, had

mamma," the little girl replied, 44 Aunt
Phebe is big 'nuff to 'tay alone."
44 WELL, Andre, have you worked hard

11. R. STEVENS, ESQ:—
lA'ir Sir, —About two years ago a Cnncrr made
Its appearance on my face, left side of my none.
When I first noticed it, 'twas about the slae of a
pin head (very small). it increased in size, and
spread on my face until it became as large as a
common cent, t tried all kinds of remedies, and
advice from a physician. It was spreading, and
eating into my flesh very fast, i was very much
alarmed. I went to see a physician who cured
Cancers: he did not give me much encourage
ment. It pained me very much; i suffered night
and day. It would bleed ai times very profusely.
Every thing was done that could be to try to cure
the cancer. My brother had a Cancer on tils lip;
he submitted to an o(R-ratton, being well dis
couraged. I was one day tu Mr. \Noodberry's
apothecary store, of this town, lie gave me your
pamphlet, containing many cures by the use of
Vegetuie. 1 found ou page 19 where Vegellne had
cured a Cancer on a lady 's nose. I then bought a

ON a recent voyage of theCunard steam
ship Bothnia from New York to Liver
pool, there was a Boston school-master
among the passengers. He was greatly
interested in watching the compass aud the
course of the ship and liuving figured out
that the captain's course was wrong, he
fell compelled to tell him so. Haiti the
schoolmaster: 44 Captain, if you continue
in the course you are now sailing, you will
bring up at Gibralter." The captain said
he had friends at Gibraltar who would like
•o tee him. When the ship arrived off
Queenstowu, and the school-master was
assured of that agreeable fact, he asked
the captain how it was that lie could have
been somislakeu in his reckoning. 44 Not
being a schoolmaster, 1 can't say," an
swered the captain,

One of the most popular medicines now
before the American public is Hop Bitters.
You see it everywhere. People take it with
good effect. It builds tlioin up. it is not
as pleasant to the taete as s me other Bit

more like the old fashioned bone set tea that
has done a world of go al. If you don't
feel just right try Hop Bitters. —Nunda

A TKAOHKK in a lower grade in one of
public schools received a new pupil the
other day—a little miss of six or seven
years, named, say Mattie Brown After
taking her name for the school rolls ac
cording to the custom, the teacher said :
44 W r hat is your papa's uauie, Mattie?"
44 Mr. Brown."
44 \es, but what is his first name?"
•'Don't know —his name is just Mr.
Brown."
" Yes, yes—l know," theu as a bright
idea struck her, 4 ' what does your mamma
call him?"
44 Uli! 1 know what you mean now,"
the innocent child replied; 44 ma she calls
him a durncd old fool!"
It is safe to conclude that the teacher
did not register the child's father a I). O.

A Boom to Humanity
is anything that will ease pain, and a public
benefactor one who is able to relieve ail
ments. The moßt painful of all bodily ills
is surely piles, and such has been the absurd,
empirical barbarous treatment of this terrible
disease for 3000 years that scientific men began
to despair, and a distinguished modern surgeon
ha* pronounced it the "opprobiium of the
profession." Afflicted millions tortured with
pain and deceived by the false preteusions of
Eile nostrums, cried out in the language of the
ible: "Who is this that darkeuetn counsel by
words without knowledge; canst thou draw out
a Leviathan with a hook?" Dr. Bilsbee is a
benefactor, and Auakesis. the great infallible
pile remedy, the most beneficent disoovery of
the age; a simple, safe, prompt and permanent
cure for this terrible, painful and heretofore
almost incurable disease. Half a million suf
ferers pronounce it infallible; none use it
without benefit, and doctors of all medical
schools proscribe it It is the discovery
of a scientific chemist and practicing physician
after 40 years' experience, and pronounced to
be the nearest to an infallible remedy known.
